## **Muskham Rural Community Centre Annual Report Oct 2022** ## **Also known as North Muskham Recreation Playing Fields Association and North Muskham Recreation Committee.** ## **Objectives and activities** The centre exists for the benefit of our local community and the villages it serves. Our objective is to provide safe, clean, accessible community facilities for all ages. The Centre comprises three different sized rooms, kitchen, stage playing field and changing facilities for sports. The Centre can be booked for family functions, community group meetings and events. All bookings for the hall are made through the booking Secretary and must comply with the booking conditions. ## **Achievements and performance** The centre provides a hub for community groups such as OAP luncheon club, Parents and Toddlers, Keep Fit, video games club, Table Tennis, Art group, History society, Muskham Players (Am dram) etc. The local Cougars junior football team train and play on the field. Whilst Covid lockdown temporarily closed the centre most of the pre-pandemic activities are back up and running. The centre is home to the Preschool Playgroup 4 days a week and the Out of school club every weekday morning and evening in term time and holds the holiday club during school vacations. Occasional users include Caravan clubs, weddings, funeral wakes, christenings, childrens’ birthday parties. Charities find us a good venue for fundraising evenings and we organise a village fete most years. We are able to offer a licenced bar if required for events. The centre is well used and the main role of the committee is to keep it in good state of repair and organise the regular inspections and maintenance. The Centre is cleaned daily. ## **Financial review** We changed accountant last year as David Shaw our previous accountant was ill and sadly died this year. The accounts were taken over by David Pattinson who updated the format and corrected the way the building is displayed in the accounts. This resulted in a larger than usual accountancy fee but this was a one off. After a tricky couple of years due to the pandemic the MRCC finances are heading back towards a better place. Compared to 2019 our annual income is 25% less. Certainly, without the grant support we have received we would have been a much worse situation. Whilst Playgroup and Muskham Out of School continued through the pandemic, all our other groups ceased. Whilst unfortunately some, such as the WI have folded, most have returned and we have some new users such as the weekly video game players club. Occasional use for parties and charity events is also picking up and the return of the caravan meets makes a big difference to our income. Total income isn't at pre pandemic levels of course but is improving, £35,635.13 Expenditure is pretty much as we'd expect for a typical year but the increase in electricity cost and rainwater harvesting repairs have put us up to £40,524.45. Our 3 year fixed rate electricity deal ended in Feb 2022 and the rate per unit is double what we were paying resulting. Whilst we are endeavouring to be energy efficient and reduce consumption, it was not unexpected that electricity was £9,669 this year and expected to be well over £12,000 pa for 22/23. £4,889.32 was paid to FCC as our 10% third party contribution to the new playground construction. This has recently opened and is a marvellous asset to the village. The capturing memories project has not been very active during the pandemic so we still hold funds for that project for delivery with young people at a future date. Looking forward to 2023 we are expecting to have to dip into reserves for running costs next year unless we can attract a good uplift in income or raise additional funds through grants or donations. ## **Structure, governance and management** The Centre is managed by the committee of trustees appointed every year at the AGM. We have a set of regular and committed individuals , some who have sat on the committee managing previous community buildings on the site for over 30 years. As tasks become necessary members of the committee volunteer to complete them depending on their skills. ## **Reference and Administrative details** List of Trustees – no new appointments or resignations during the year Chair: Nick Noot Davies Vice Chair: Emily Sanders Secretary: Nick Hutchings Treasurer: Jude Andrews Helen Waterfield Brian White David Mellors Jeff Hannabuss Gemma Lawrence Andrew Willey Health and Safety and Compliance : Ian Harrison Bar Manager: Andy Willey Booking Secretary: Jude Andrews Parish Council representatives: Nick Hutchings and Ian Harrison ## **MUSKHAM RURAL COMMUNITY CENTRE** ## **NELSON LANE, NORTH MUSKHAM, NEWARK, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.** ## **ACCOUNTS** ## **YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** CHAIR N.

Our 3 year fixed rate electricity deal ended in Feb 2022 and the rate per unit is double what we were paying. Whilst we are endeavouring to be energy efficient and reduce consumption, it was not unexpected that electricity was £9,983 this year and expected to be well over £12,000 pa for 22/23. £5,563 was paid to FCC as our 10% third party contribution to the new playground construction.

WILLEY 3 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MUSKHAM RURAL COMMUNITY CENTRE** I report on the accounts of Muskham Rural Community Centre, for the year ended 30 September 2022 which are set out on page 4 to 10. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** As the Charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) does not apply, and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act. have not been met; or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
